Especially after the hurricane, there isn't really a need for them. I agree with what was said above, if you want money and want to pedal, become a pedicab downtown. Just be careful late at night, you WILL get jacked. 3 of my friends got mugged and my roommate got his car stolen while we lived there. I got the hell out, that place sucks
